Agent: 'Costel Pantilimon future unclear'

Manchester City goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon's agent has admitted that the future of his client is yet to be decided.

The Romanian, who was used in the FA Cup last season by Roberto Mancini until the final, has not made a Premier League appearance and has been linked with a move to Italy.

His agent, however, has denied any approach for his client but said that a move would be tempting.

"There has been no contact with Fiorentina or with other Serie A sides," Ion Timofte told calciomercato.it.

"I don't know if Costel will remain at Manchester City, the market is not officially opened yet.

"[Italy is] a beautiful country, but then I repeat - for now there is nothing."

Pantilimon joined City in 2011 on loan, with the deal being made permanent the following summer.
